AxSTREAM Workshop - 3 Day Training Workshop for Professional Designers

This training provides participants with a practical understanding of the design, analysis and optimization of flow paths for turbomachinery equipment using the AxSTREAM® software platform. During this interactive, hands-on workshop, engineers will use the AxSTREAM® software to successfully perform preliminary design of turbomachinery flow paths, inverse and direct 1D/2D analysis and optimization, 3D profiling/stacking of the airfoils, 3D FEA and CFD, export of results to 3D CAD programs and more.

The training includes break-out sessions, one-on-one design consultation with our SoftInWay teachers and review of actual test cases. Each student can choose a particular track of study based on his or her specific interests:

Axial turbine

Axial compressor

Axial, radial and mixed-flow pump

Centrifugal compressor

Radial turbine

Retrofitting and performance upgrades

The course program can be customized according to the participants’ needs. Upon completion, participants will be able to design and optimize a complete 3D flow path from basic boundary conditions data and will receive a free 30 day trial license of AxSTREAM®.

The scope includes:

Role of AxSTREAM® in the design process of turbomachinery

Preliminary design of turbomachinery

Detailed design of turbomachines

Design and off-design performance of rotating machinery

Optimization of turbomachines

Profiling and 3D blade design

Structural and vibration analyses (FEA)
